Resources for an Artful Life

If you’re like us, you want to learn, evolve, and transform into a wiser and happier person. You want the life and business you build to come with ease. But we all know it can be ridiculously difficult to know where to start.

Here at Simply Art, I’ve run down hundreds of paths and can now share my curated list of the best of the best, tools, books and more with you.

These are the ones that have most deeply and genuinely altered our way of living artfully and brought ease to our business.

The ones we literally rant and rave about to all our peeps.

Some of the links below are affiliate links. That means you purchasing from the list below will help me keep sharing with the world from home so I can continue to raise my son Kai on our own terms. We only share what we personally USE and ADORE!

Cheers,

Lezette
